They helped us every step of the way getting all our documents in order and guiding us through the process. In addition the staff are incredibly nice and helpful, but that's just standard stuff. What makes this a 5 star experience is the personal connection they try to make with their clients, little things like having a welcome sign up when we come in for a meeting that greets my wife and I by name. Thank you cards for coming to meet them, and they sent us a box of cupcakes when we closed. They were on top of the ball the whole way and even worked after hours and responded to my texts calls and emails. The whole transaction went beautifully. Mike and team, from the bottom of our hearts we salute you.

This is just a typical bank . There's nothing extraordinary about this one in particular. The one…read morecaveat that I can think of is that they have always provided free checking to their customers! Always! Perhaps this is the reason that they are the premier banking institution in our small town. In the fifty some odd years that I've been a customer I've seen more than several banks fold up and leave town! This has not only remained the by far largest bank in GaffneyS.C. but has actually grown with two other locations inside our city limits. There are two branches in Spartanburg S.C. and one in Boiling Springs,S.C. also. I am convinced that free checking is the main reason for their success! I have been the beneficiary of that policy for many years now. It's just a mystery to me where the money from all of those savings went to! LOL! I do of course recommend this bank!

There are numerous mortgage lenders everywhere. How do you know who to work with? You work with…read moresomeone with many years of experience who has a strong understanding of the mortgage laws and market. In 2020 I reached out to Rebecca as a first time home buyer. I was beyond confused about how it all worked and I was so glad to have come across someone so informative and down to earth. Mortgages have multiple terms involved that a person not in the business most likely has never heard before. Rebecca is patient and helps you understand every word, twist, and turn. The most important thing about a mortgage lender is their understanding, experience, and ability to get you to the closing table in a timely manner. Rebecca has all three things down pat but also is always only a text or call away. You never have trouble reaching her for any question big or small. I appreciate Rebecca's understanding of the lending trends and interest rates as she helps you make the best decision for your financial situation. She is also here for the journey. If you are curious about how the lending process works and what needs to be in place in order to secure a home in the future she is humble and patient enough to share her expertise with you even if you're not quite ready. Rebecca was such a strong mortgage lender for my first home transaction I used her again for the purchase of my second home. When I first thought of buying a second home I wasn't even sure what I'd be approved for or what the payment would look like. I sent her an email and she replied back with her availability of the next week to have a call to discuss. She immediately remembered my fiancé and I and greeted us warmly. We gave her a few details about our current financial situation and she was able to give a very high level estimate of what things might look like if we got approved. From our first call she painted a picture that made my fiancé and I confident enough to move forward with our second home purchase. We highly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking to secure mortgage lending no matter your financial or marital situation her many years of experience make her a specialist in any scenario. Do yourself a favor and work with Rebecca for your lending needs and I assure you she will connect all the dots!

She diligently crunched my numbers and showed me as qualified where my primary bank fell through, she walked us expertly through a complicated foundation issue discovered in the appraisal which otherwise would have been very stressful, and she educated and advised me on all the options of when to lock in the best rate and how to lower it or the potential PMI. She gave me high and low scenarios depending on anticipated appraisal and responded to all of my needs patiently and warmly. Her assistant Cameron was tremendous as well and reached out via phone and email and kept the ball rolling with ease. The whole experience, coupled with our INCREDIBLE and highly rated real estate agent Nick Hinton and ace assistant Renee Oullette was a phenomenal experience of partnership, teamwork, and success! We plan to use them all for all of our needs on our two homes and on any refinances or purchases we ever make!
